tirado

thrown

adjective tee-RAH-doh Rare

Also means

dirt cheap

Usage Note

Tirado as a literal adjective means thrown or lying (sprawled) on the ground. Colloquially tirado means extremely cheap (esto está tirado de precio) or very easy (el examen estuvo tirado). It can also describe a person left in a difficult situation (me dejó tirado = he left me in the lurch), making it highly context-dependent.

Examples

"Los precios estaban tirados en ese mercado."

Natural Translation

The prices were dirt cheap at that market.
